LIBRARY.
The library of the University, originally selected and arranged by
Mr. Jefferson, and since enlarged by purchases and donations, now
contains about 35,000 volumes.
Among the recent donations may be mentioned those of A. A.
Low and Robert Gordon, Esqs., of the city of New York. Each
of these gentlemen has left a graceful memento of a visit to the
University, in the unsolicited present of a considerable sum of money
for the increase of the library. Such acts of generosity deserve a
grateful record.

Students are allowed the use of the books, under the usual restrictions,
and the librarian is present in the library for four hours daily,
to attend to their wants.
